FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOMS
This has turned out to be my wife's absolute favorite recipe for filet mignon with mushrooms. The original called for about a third of the liquid, but the sauce is so good that she always complained about not having enough to dip bread in. So the liquid measurements are tripled here from the original.

Steps:
- Place bacon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Crumble bacon and reserve.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic in the hot butter, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring, until liquid from mushrooms starts to evaporate, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bourbon and boil until nearly evaporated. Stir in water, lemon juice, and Worcestershire. Boil until sauce is thickened slightly. Transfer sauce to a small saucepan and stir in reserved bacon and parsley. Keep warm.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foam begins to subside. Sear steaks for 4 minutes; turn over and sear, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes for medium-rare. Divide between 2 plates and spoon sauce over them.

FILET MIGNON AU POIVRE
My favorite fancy steak dish is Filet Mignon au Poivre (Filet Mignon with pepper). This is a simple version of the steak au poivre you've had in restaurants.

Steps:
- Trim the filets if necessary, removing all but the central true filet part, as well as the tough "silverskin." Salt and pepper lightly.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and turn the pan to distribute and melt it quickly. Put the steaks into the skillet. Scatter the chopped shallots around the steaks.
- Cook the steaks for three to five minutes per side. The steaks are ready to be turned when they come unstuck from the pan. (That doesn't always happen, but if the steak is really stuck down there it's probably not ready to turn yet.) If the steaks are thick, cook them on their sides as well as on their faces. About six to eight minutes of total cooking time will make for medium rare. (For perfect results, check with a meat thermometer.) Remove the steaks and keep warm.
- Add the brandy to the pan and bring to a boil. (Be careful: it may catch fire, which is all right for flavor but potentially dangerous.) With a whisk, dissolve the browned bits of meat in the brandy as it boils.
- When the brandy is almost boiled away, add the cream and cracked peppercorns (and the demi-glace, if you have it). Bring to a light boil and cook, agitating the pan to mix the ingredients, for three to five minutes, or until reduced by about a third.
- Place the steaks on warm plates and spoon on the sauce.

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOM RED WINE SAUCE
Steps:
- Generously season each side of the steaks with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature about 20 minutes before cooking.
- In a cast-iron (or other heavy-duty) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add half of the shallots and saute until tender for a couple of minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a dish and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
- Heat another tablespoon of butter over high heat in the skillet. It will bubble and foam, and after it stops, add the steaks. Sear on each side for about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
- Reduce the heat to medium high. Add the remaining shallots and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the flame off and add the wine. Turn the flame back on to high, bring to boil and let reduce by half. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in the reserved mushrooms.
- Spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve.

Tips:
- Select high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality filet mignon you can find, and make sure the mushrooms are fresh and flavorful. Good quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Cook the filet mignon to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking filet mignon to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium. However, you can cook it to your own desired doneness.
- Let the filet mignon rest before slicing: After cooking the filet mignon, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Make sure the mushroom ragu is flavorful: The mushroom ragu is a key component of this dish, so make sure it is flavorful and well-seasoned. Use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, for a more complex flavor.
- Serve the filet mignon with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Choose sides that complement the flavors of the filet mignon and mushroom ragu.
